Subject: [patch v2] fuse: fix permission checking on sticky directories

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...e.cz>

The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the
filesystem defines it's own ->permission().  In some situations
(sshfs, mountlo, etc) the user does have permission to delete a file
even if the attribute based checking would not allow it.

So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and
returning them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from
inode->i_mode.

This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new
infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all
filesystems, just for the sake of fuse.

[Jan Engelhardt] cosmetic fixes
